I hope you enjoy those ebuilds and if you have own ebuilds and want to contribute send them to:
[evermind att tuxfamily dot org]. And also if you know a good program missing here post it here
or drop me a email/PM. Also suggestion & critics are welcome!
(Before creating new ebuilds look if there's already one atbugs.gentoo.org)

BIG FAT WARNING: these ebuilds are not supported by gentoo-devs and might break your system

Please note:
lash finally hits portage, but not in the same category like its
predecessor ladcca. So to stop confusion when using this overlay
I moved lash to media-sound. PLEASE if you using lash do:
emerge -C lash && emerge lash
I hope nothing broke --evermind--

I got my two Mackie Onyx Firewire mixers set up with jack, using freebob. I think I may need to tweak the settings, because:

In Ardour, when I record, the recording sounds clean, but there is a short delay upon playback so that new material is slightly behind by a second or so. This happens for everything I record. I had increased the latency in the jack settings because stuff kept dropping out on record. These are the jack settings I used in qjackctl:

Latency comes out to 256 ms, something that seems to work alright in Windows, and which is about what the Mackies set themselves to when I use the Windows Mackie Onyx control panel to set the sample rate to 48k.

I'm trying to emerge and run Psychosynth. If I use the psynth3d flag, version 9999 complains that ogre does not support the cegui use flag, even though ogre and cegui emerge without a problem. Plus, psynth3d requires cegui. I can compile Psychosynth without psynth3d, but then it doesn't run.

Without 3d, running psynth gives:

Code:

[psynth.base.config] ERROR: Config node has no backend.
Not enough parameters. Use -h or --help.

EGIT_REPO_URI in lmms-9999-r1 is wrong again. Why did it get changed back (and of course it stopped working again because of this)?

Btw, the "--as-needed" patch was pushed upstream, so no more problems with that one.

Edit:
Also, please remove "ChangeLog" from DOCS, since that file has been not updated for a long time now and simply renamed to "ChangeLog.old" and this breaks the emerge. Change logs are now only provides by Git, so it doesn't make sense to include it in DOCS.

I'm quite new with gentoo but really like it so far, I like to use it as a digital audio workstation to record an modify samples and to bring these samples together in LMMS.
I've setup a nice DAW using the gentoo handbook and http://proaudio.tuxfamily.org/ 's wiki and howto's, all working fine exept for the use of midi devices.

when I start qjackctl I get the error

Code:

ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory

I've been looking for solutions for two days now but no results, re-emerged alsa and jack many times with different useflags and settings but nothing seemed to work.
Also tried installing alsa manual using the sources.
